I have recently started playing with this, and am having trouble running any of the scripts found here or at the script center, getting Access Denied when I run them as .msh files. I did a search a while ago and found that there is a regkey that can be changed to fix this, made the change and still can't run em and of course, I can't find that info anymore. There is a possibility that my PC is the problem as it has slowly been dieing (Don't want to rebuild this one as I am getting a new one soon).

I guess my question comes down to, How do I get a script from teh Script center working? I have run through the MSH hands on lab that I downloaded with Beta 3 but can't get a stand alone script working.

I was having a problem with running scripts and it was an explicit path issue. So, if I am in a directory where the script is I need to type ./Test.msh to run the script not just Test.msh.

hmm, nope, tried that and still not working. Some more strange behavior, if I try to edit the msh file (right click/edit) I get access denied. I took a look at the settings under file types and Notepad is set for both open and edit. Will need to install MSH support on another pc and check it out.

Also, from a cmd line if I do msh test.msh or msh -command test.msh I get a test.msh not cmdlet error.

I guess I just need to read more.

Try msh -command ./test.msh from a command prompt.

Strange that just ./script.msh dont work from inside msh-shell for you.

well i think the ./ is needed because .msh isnt a registered filetype and there is no assosiation with it or the path u running the script from isnt in your %path%, but i can be wrong there.
anyway ./ just means "current directory"

I believe it is a security feature so that someone couldn't just put some maliscious code on your machine in a file named Dir.msh then it would run the next time you try to do a Dir command.

I could be totally wrong but I'll give it a whirl...

The ./ is a left over from shell scripting (bash I think) it has been many years

googling.........

see http://linuxcommand.org/wss0020.php#bashrc

under "Shell functions"

It's not a great explanation but it might throw some light on the subject.

If you go out to google and search for /. or ./ you will get a blank result.

From the Power Shell docs, the .\ or ./ is required because the current working directory is not part of the path.
